Flabby Animals

As anyone who has ever crash-dieted knows, sometimes losing weight means winding up with stretch marks or sagging. That is exactly what happened to a bunch of rhesus macaque monkeys at the Osaka Zoo in Japan who were weaned off the junk food they had been fed by visitors and put on a regimen of healthy food. One of the slimming simians lost half his body weight—but the zoo now says he and some of his buddies have a lot of excess flabby skin. Several others, meanwhile, are still struggling to take off the pounds. (Animal rights activists would probably note that this sort of problem doesn't happen in the wild—where you have to scramble for your bananas.)
